Hawaii
We had a wonderful time. It was perfect. Lots of stunning views. The two best tour guides. We would definitely do it again. We got beautiful pics of the whole tour.
When it comes to horseback riding in Hawaii, I thought there was only Kualoa Ranch, but I was surprised to find out you can ride along the North Shore coast!! (Even my local friends didn't know about it.) It was definitely refreshing!! I have experience riding both domestically and internationally, but it's totally fine for first-timers as well. However, if you go on a tour, the time for exploring the North Shore town will be a bit short, which is a little disappointing.
ハワイで乗馬といえば、クアロア・ランチしかないと思っていましたが、ノースの海岸沿いで乗馬できるとは！！（現地の友人も知りませんでした。）
やっぱり爽快です！！
乗馬は国内外で何度か経験はありましたが、初めての方でも全然大丈夫ですよ。 ツアーの場合はノースの街の散策の時間は短くなるのでその辺はちょっと残念かも。
Thank you very much for participating in the horseback riding tour with Island Makana Tours. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed riding by the seaside. Participating in activities often leaves little time to explore Haleiwa. We also offer tours that allow for a leisurely exploration of Haleiwa, so please consider using Island Makana Tours again when you visit Hawaii. Mahalo!!
この度はアイランドマカナツアーズの乗馬にご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。お客様が海辺での乗馬をお楽しみ頂けたようで良かったです。アクティビティに参加するとどうしてもハレイワを散策する時間が短くなってしまいます。弊社にはハレイワをゆっくり散策できるツアーもございますので、またハワイにお越しの際は、是非アイランドマカナツアーズをご利用くださいませ。Mahalo!!

At the summit of Mauna Kea, I felt a bit unwell due to the thin air, but the sunset was wonderful and I really enjoyed it. The driver's broken Japanese explanations were also nice. I was able to take a lot of photos, and it became a fun memory.
マウナケア山頂では、空気が薄いせいか少し体調不良を感じましたが、サンセットは素晴らしくエンジョイできました。ドライバーの片言の日本語説明もあり、よかったです。写真もたくさん撮影でき、楽しい思い出となりました。

A sunrise hike up diamond head is a must do. The Acai bowl at Bogarts was a perfect refresher after the hike. I would do this again
The tour guides are great, they are funny and give you really cool insight in to the history of the land where you will be riding on.
The views are really cool on each stop
The tour guide was great, the horses were lovely, the scenery was perfect, and the ride was peaceful and relaxing, but you won’t see the sunset on the beach like the photos suggest you will. (It sets behind the mountain across the street from the riding tour, which was a disappointment for me considering the name of the tour and the photos!)
We are so happy that you were able to enjoy the scenery, and the horses provided a relaxing ride! Depending on the time of the year, the position of the sun does move, and it will not always be positioned over the ocean. The sunset name is for the time of day that the ride occurs. Unfortunately, we have no control of the position of the sun, however I hope you were still able to enjoy the changing colors reflecting off the mountains and the ocean.
On the way to the site we learned about the history of the sugar plantation and what is happening with that area now, which is terrific. The 3 supervising folks were very supportive and fun. Most of the trip was in the tunnels, which was very interesting as well, and not scary like I thought it might be..the headlamps were essential! It was certainly a different way to experience Kauai!
I had been interested in the Cessna flying experience for a while, and I finally signed up for it this time. I felt a bit anxious because we were using the large Daniel K. Inouye Airport, which I usually fly to and from Japan. However, the pre-flight lecture and the instructor during the flight were both Japanese, and they kindly taught us. I was able to enjoy sightseeing from the sky, and it was a lot of fun and a new experience. The scenery I usually see from the cabin was completely different from the view from the cockpit, and I was moved when I pulled the control stick and took off. I would love to experience it again if I have the chance.
セスナ操縦体験は前から気になっていて今回申し込みました。
離着陸が日本との往復で利用している、巨大なダニエルKイノウエ空港だったので不安になりましたが、事前の講義もフライト時の教官も日本の方で、親切に教えて頂き空からの観光もできてとても楽しく新しい経験ができました。
いつもはキャビンから見ている景色も操縦席からはまったく違う景色で操縦桿を引いて離陸したときは感動です。
また機会があれば体験したいと思いました。

We participated as a couple. Since it was a day to drive around Maui with a rental car, we opted for the meet-up plan, but we arrived just in time for check-in. There were some traffic jams, so I think it's best for those going on their own to plan to arrive early.
We took turns driving. It was a pretty long drive, so it was good to switch off. Our faces got really dirty! My clothes were covered in dust, so I recommend wearing clothes that you wouldn't mind throwing away.
Driving a buggy at high speed through the great outdoors was thrilling and a lot of fun! The guide only spoke English, so I didn't understand much of the commentary along the way, but I still enjoyed the scenery.
夫婦で参加しました。レンタカーでマウイ島を回る日だったので現地集合プランでしたが受付時間ギリギリの到着でした。
渋滞した道もあったので、自力で行く方は早めに着く想定が良いと思います。
夫と交代で運転しました。結構長い時間走るので、交代して良かったです。
顔は真っ黒になります！服もすすだらけになったので、捨ててもいいくらいの服で参加することをおすすめします。
大自然の中をバギーでスピードを出して走るので、スリルもあってとても楽しかったです！
ガイドは英語のみなので道中の解説はほぼわかりませんでしたが、景色だけでも楽しめました

We participated as a couple. Skydiving was my first time in life. I was very nervous, but in the end, it became the best memory! I'm not good with thrill rides like roller coasters, but having a guide made me feel safe to jump!
The thrill leading up to the jump was also fun, and I was able to see the best views, so I'm really glad I participated.
夫婦で参加しました。スカイダイビングは人生初。とてもドキドキしましたが、結果的に最高の思い出になりました！
私はジェットコースターなどの絶叫系は得意ではないのですが、ガイドさんがついてくれるので安心して飛べましました！
飛び立つまでのスリルも楽しかったし、最高の景色を見ることができて参加してとても良かったです。

The driving experience was great. The person in charge of the pick-up and drop-off was also very accommodating. However, I was worried that I couldn't confirm things immediately upon arrival at the location. It would have been even better if I had received a message the day before about which car would be picking me up.
操縦体験良かったです。
また送り迎えの担当の方の対応良かったです。
ただ現地到着してからの確認が直ぐに取れなかったのが心配でした。
また前日にどの車が迎えにくるか連絡頂けるとより良かったと思います。

I wanted to visit Mauna Kea, so I chose the Big Island as my first destination in Hawaii.
Regarding the starry sky, it was a bit disappointing that the moon was close to full, making it hard to see, but the view of the sunset and the array of telescopes was spectacular and wonderful.
Additionally, the tour description mentioned only an English guide, but our guide, Shota, was able to speak Japanese as well, which was very helpful as he provided guidance in both English and Japanese.
He also took some lovely photos, creating great memories.
Next time, I plan to check the lunar cycle carefully before visiting again! Thank you very much!
マウナケア山に訪れてみたく、今回初のハワイの行き先としてハワイ島を選びました。
星空については月が満月に近く、月明かりにて見えずらい点が残念ではありましたがサンセットと研究用の望遠鏡が並んでいる景色が壮観で素晴らしかったです。
また、ツアー説明には英語ガイドのみで記載がありましたが、ガイドのショウタさんが日本語もお話しできるとのことで英語と日本語両方でガイドをいただき大変助かりました。
素敵な写真も撮影いただき、とても良い思い出です。
次回は月の周期もしっかり確認した上で、再訪したいと思います！
またよろしくお願いいたします。

I visited Kualoa Ranch, which was recommended by an acquaintance for my first trip to Hawaii. There was a Japanese-speaking guide on site, which provided a sense of security. The buggies get quite dirty from the dust, but it was a fun experience. I definitely think it's worth trying at least once.
初めてのハワイ旅行で知人に勧められたクアロア・ランチを訪問しました。
現地には日本語ガイドさんが在中していますので、安心感がありました。
バギーはかなり土埃で汚れますが、楽しい体験ができました。是非、一度チャレンジした方が良いと思います。

On our way home we were talking about what our favorite part of the trip to Hawaii was and everyone said the Raptor Adventure. The two guides were awesome! Actually all the guides we encountered were super friendly. The scenery was beautiful from the mountains, the ocean views, and the movie clip views. We even saw some cows up close and pet a horse. We will definitely come back again and highly recommend it.
I went to Hawaii for the first time on my honeymoon.
I was a bit anxious about whether I would be able to ride a horse since it was my first experience, but there was no problem at all!! The guide (who spoke English, but it was fine) provided great assistance while riding, so I felt reassured. They chose a horse that suited me. The horse was very smart, and when I gave commands with my legs, it would walk along the trail by itself, which was amusing.
While riding, I was able to enjoy the beautiful sea and mountains, experiencing the magnificent nature that you can't feel in Japan. I'm really glad I participated! It became my favorite memory of the Hawaii trip.
However, since it was a two-hour ride, my butt and legs became very sore... After getting off the horse, my legs were shaking for a while, which was funny. But even with that, I think it's a tour I would highly recommend!!
There were few dining options, and the burger I wanted had a long line, so I ended up settling for a sandwich from the shop, which I regret a little... The horse keychain at the shop was cute! ♡
ハネムーンで初ハワイにいきました。
乗馬体験は初めてだったので、直ぐにのれるようになるのか不安でしたが、
全然問題ないです！！
馬に乗る際も、ガイドさん(英語ですが大丈夫)がしっかり補助をしてくれるので安心です。人に合わせて馬を選んでくれていました。
お馬さんもとても賢いので、脚で指示を促すと勝手に散歩コース？を歩いてくれます笑
馬に乗りながら綺麗な海と山を眺めて、日本では感じられない壮大な大自然を体験することができて本当に参加できて良かったです！
ハワイ旅行の中で一番思い出になりました。
ただ二時間乗馬なので、お尻と脚がとても痛くなります、、
馬から降りた後は暫く脚がガクガクしていました笑
ですが、それを引き換えにしてもおススメ出来るツアーだと思います！！
飲食店が少なく、お目当てのハンバーガーはとても並んでいて時間がなかったので、売店のサンドウィッチで済ませたのが少し心残り、、
売店の馬のキーホルダーが可愛かったです♡

It was an awesome experience. Our tour guide was knowledgeable. The slow pace of the hike was good, gave us all the time and just admire the beauty of the forests.
Excellent! We are happy that you enjoyed your time with us. We have many hikes to choose from and the Volcanic Rainforest is one of our staff faves.
I signed up for a self-driving course. It was pouring rain, and I bought a poncho from a vending machine. I didn't get my body wet, but my arms, legs, and shoes were soaked. I followed the guide at the front and drove.
自分で運転するコースで申し込みました。

My family had an awesome time flying with these professionals. They treated us very special and it was a great way to see the island. Flying over the WWII ships; from above you see what you can't on the ground. I would highly recommend this as a way to see the island. My husband, daughter and I all had a great time.
The scenery and course were excellent.
There were some things I didn't understand because everything was explained in English, but the guide was kind and explained things to me, and also took photos, so I really enjoyed it.
風景とコースは最高でした。
全部英語の説明のため、わからなかったこともありましたが、
ガイドさんは優しく説明してくれたり、写真も撮ってくれたりして、
本当に楽しかったです。

I was worried that it would be an English-only guide, but I was relieved that there was support in Japanese.
I was able to experience driving a real buggy!
It rained heavily along the way, but that became a memory too!
Overall, I am satisfied!
英語のみのガイドかと思って不安でしたが、アテンドは日本語の対応もあり助かりました。
本格バギーの運転体験が出来ました！
途中大雨でしたが、それも思い出！
総合的には満足です！

I had heard great things about Kualoa Ranch. I really wanted to explore it on horseback, but since my 7-year-old child couldn't due to age restrictions, we took turns driving a buggy while enjoying the ride with our child, and it was a lot of fun.
I have a Class A driver's license, but I'm not very experienced, and I had no problems driving at all. However, I noticed another group of Japanese tourists seemed to be lagging behind and eventually disappeared from view. Make sure to press the accelerator firmly.
I made a reservation about two months ago for three family members, and it cost just over 50,000 yen, but when I checked right before our visit, it had gone up to around 70,000 yen, so it's best to book early.
We received pink masks to wear around our necks and mouths.
周囲から良い良いと言われていたクワロアランチ。本当は馬で回りたかったのですが7歳の子供は年齢制限で無理でしたのでバギーを夫婦で交互に運転しながら子供を乗せましたがとても楽しめました。
私は運転免許Atでペーパーですが全く問題無く運転できましたが、日本人の別の組の車は非常に遅れて見えなくなってました。
アクセルはしっかり踏みましょう。
2ヶ月前程に予約し家族3人で5万円強でしたが、直前に見ると7万円程になってましたので、早めに予約しましょう。
首と口に巻くピンクのマスクは貰えました。

I had a great time talking with the guides. The location descriptions were easy to understand, and even though it was in English, I was able to comprehend it using a translation app on my smartphone. The views were from places I had never seen before, so it was nice to discover new things in addition to familiar spots. The road was bumpy, so I had to be careful, but I enjoyed the downhill ride. The weather was also great, which made it perfect!
ガイドの人達との会話は楽しかったです。
ロケーションの説明も分かりやすく、
英語でしたが、スマホの翻訳アプリ使って理解出来ました。
見たことない所からの景色だったので、
よく行く場所とか、新しい発見もあり観れてよかったです。
道がデコボコしてるので、そこは注意してダウンヒル楽しみました。
天気も良く最高でした！

Gorgeous, unimaginably beautiful views. Very interesting and informative guided tour. Strenuous though, they warned us about the low oxygen and a couple people were visibly feeling ill. "Dinner" was hot but not very good (heavily salted vegetable lasagne).
The guide was wonderful, and it was a fun 90 minutes. We started with explanations about nature and history, and I learned a lot about the views of the sea. Along the way, we enjoyed some ups and downs in the vehicle, and we also walked a bit to see some beautiful scenery, which made for a fulfilling experience.
Since the course started at 10 AM and the meeting time to return was at 1 PM, I had lunch, bought some souvenirs, and before I knew it, the time flew by. I'm glad I scheduled it for a time when I could still be active in the afternoon.
ガイドの方がとても素晴らしく楽しい90分でした。自然や、時代の説明から始まり、海に見える内容だとかも詳しく教えてもらえました。途中車でアップダウンわー楽しませてもらったり、少し歩いて景色の良い所に案内してもらったりと充実でした。
10時からのコースで、13時に帰路のための集合時間でしたので、持っていったランチして、お土産みたり、ぼーっとしていてらあっという間でした。
午後からも動ける時間帯にしたので良かったです。

Mahalo- First of all this tubing activity was a blast! Safety Equipment was provided-helmets w/lights and gloves - croc water shoes as well if you didn’t bring your own-
All crew members were fun, engaging and helpful.
The tubing experience was a comfortable leisurely ride with a few long rides through several dark tunnels (lights on the helmets made it perfect and added a bit more fun)
Lunch after was tasty, with a self-made sandwich ingredients.
My only negative was the picture taking results - if you are a couple or group make sure you are joined together or you’ll get other guests mixed in with your pictures.
Have fun!
My husband, adult daughter, and I had a spectacular time on this excursion. Our driver/guide/astronomy guru, Maka, was the lynch-pin of the whole experience. After seeing the beautiful sunset at the top, we scurried down to set up for our tour of the night sky. Maka has significant knowledge, a great sense of humor, and an amazing telescope! We all want a laser pointer now!! Fortunately, the three of us experienced only giddiness as an effect of the altitude…the three of us were silly and laughed so much. What a great memory! We had rented a Jeep for our week on the Big Island. Someone had suggested we were wasting our money going on a tour, rather than driving ourselves. But, though the tour was not inexpensive, it was worth every penny for the experience! Highly recommend!!
The buggy only reaches a speed of up to 20 kilometers, so even women won't have trouble driving it. It can accommodate up to 2 people per vehicle. Although it can hold up to 6 people, it's cramped, so 4 people would be comfortable. If you have more than 5 participants, I recommend making reservations for 2 groups.
While driving, the sand dust is intense, so your clothes will get covered in sand, and your face will be blackened! The scenery is magnificent and wonderful, and you can see the ocean as well.
The driving time is just under 2 hours, with stops at 4 to 5 recommended spots along the way, where you can switch drivers. It seems to be a super popular tour, but I was able to make a reservation just 4 days in advance.
バギーは20キロまでしか速度は出ないので女性でも運転に困ることはないです、運転できるのは１台で2名まででした。
６名まで乗車可能ですが狭いので４人が快適です、５人以上で参加される場合は２グループ分の予約をオススメします。
走行中は砂埃が凄いので服が砂だらけになります、顔も真っ黒に！
肝心の景色は壮大で素晴らしく海も見えます
運転時間は２時間弱で途中オススメスポットに4〜5箇所停車します、そのタイミングで運転手交代可能です。
超人気ツアーの様ですが4日前でも予約できました。

The tour guide was kind, and even though I forgot my insect repellent spray, they lent me one. The path wasn't as muddy as I thought, so my shoes didn't get too dirty. We were also blessed with good weather. The lunch at Tantalus Lookout, along with the scenery and breeze, was perfect.
ツアーガイドさんも親切、虫よけスプレー忘れていきましたが、貸してくれました。思ったほど道はぬかるみなどなく、そこまで靴も汚れませんでした。お天気にも恵まれました。タンタラスの丘での昼食、景色 風、申し分なかったです。
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! Although Manoa has a lot of rain, it's great to hear that you were blessed with good weather. We're also very happy to know that you enjoyed the guide and the beautiful scenery during lunch at Tantalus. When you visit Hawaii again, please consider joining us for our other tours. We look forward to welcoming you!
素敵なご感想をありがとうございます！雨が多いマノアですが、お天気にも恵まれたようで何よりです。ガイドや、タンタラスの丘での美しい景色を見ながらの昼食を楽しんでいただけたとのこと、私たちも大変嬉しいです。またハワイにお越しの際は、ぜひ弊社の他のツアーにもご参加ください。心よりお待ちしております！

We booked a dream horseback riding experience for the family in Hawaii. The reservation process was easy and went smoothly, but getting there was quite a challenge! It took too long to rent a car in Waikiki, and just when we thought we were cutting it close, we followed the directions and found a closed gate along the way. Just when we were worried we couldn't get in, a kind local informed us that we needed to enter a code, and after a bit of confusion, we managed to resolve it with a phone call. The mountain roads were quite tricky, with many narrow spots.
Although the journey was tough, once we arrived, the friendly staff and the horseback riding while enjoying the breathtaking views made it an incredible experience. The 1.5-hour tour ended up being just over an hour, but since we were riding on rocky paths the whole time, my backside was a bit sore, which was probably just right.
After the ride, we even got to feed the adorable horses. The tour moves at a leisurely pace, so there are plenty of opportunities to take photos along the way.
ハワイでの憧れの乗馬体験を家族で予約。予約方法は簡単で問題なかったけど、現地までの道のりが大変！レンタカーをワイキキで借りるのに時間がかかりすぎてギリギリだってのに加えて近くまでルート案内通り進んで行くと、途中ゲートが閉まっていて開かない。入れないかと思ってるところに親切な近隣の方が番号入力が必要なことを教えてくれて挑戦するも解らず電話をかけて何とか解決。なかなかの山道で離合は厳しいところが多かった。(^_^;)
道のりは大変だったが現地に着くとフレンドリーなスタッフの対応、絶景を眺めながらの乗馬は気持ちよく最高な体験になりました。1.5時間のツアーが1時間ちょいで終了したけど、岩道をずっと乗ってたのでお尻が痛くてちょうど良かったかな。(о´∀`о)
乗馬終了後は可愛いお馬さんに餌やり体験までさせてくれた。ゆっくり進むツアーなので途中に写真もたくさん撮れます。

The opportunity to drive your own ATV vehicle was the best. The tour guides we had were so knowledgeable about the history of the ranch and gave us plenty of time for photo opportunities on this beautiful ranch. If we are ever in Hawaii again, we will DEFINITELY do this tour a second time!
